In a powerful act of protest, Willkie Farr associate Andrew Silberstein publicly resigned after the firm agreed to a deal with the Trump administration that many viewed as capitulating to political pressure. In his striking resignation letter, Silberstein criticized the firm for compromising its principles and failing to stand up for the rule of law alongside firms like Perkins Coie. Calling out the moral failure of corporate compliance, he urged fellow legal professionals to recognize that individual words and actions matter, even in large institutions. His exit reflects growing unrest within Biglaw amid political interference and ethical concerns.
